Friends and foes of the Cape Wind project were scheduled to demonstrate at a clean energy forum sponsored by the NStar utility in Boston May 3, but both sides called it off.

In a press statement, Clean Power Now cited “recent world events and permit issues with the City of Boston” as reasons for the cancellation. The pro-project group wanted to urge NStar to buy the second half of the Cape project’s power to “significantly boost clean energy, reduce dependence on dirty fossil fuels, promote cleaner air and bring much-needed green jobs to Massachusetts.”

The Association to Protect Nantucket Sound had urged members to show up to tell NStar to “continue to say no to overpriced Cape Wind and yes to affordable clean energy.”
